Personally, I think that`s totally unacceptable!
You are dealing largely here with ab-initio students who have probably never seen a flying related graph or table in their lives when they begin ATPL groundschool.
They have enough difficulty mastering the content of the existing CAPs 696/697/698. There is more than sufficient content here to generate the required exam questions.
Seeing another type of graph/table IN EXAMINATION CONDITIONS for the very first time is grossly unfair.
I have clearly made the right decision in recently resigning as a TKI; the system is now beginning to stink.
Does the CAA/EASA have an agenda to cause students to fail or reduce scores?
If so, have the guts to admit it!!
